Answer:

B. the economies in Africa will be challenged to support a growing population.

Step-by-step explanation:

Just because Africa is increasing faster than any continent, doesn't mean its improving or going to improve. More children means more healthcare for families which is more expensive. And most of Africa's population are in Stage 1. (Below Poverty, less than $1.10 a day). Most Africans don't make it past 64 years.
